Information about "Springfield Méthode Ancienne Cabernet Sauvignon 2017"
Springfield's Méthode Ancienne Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 is a remarkable wine birthed from a unique vinification process that employs only the wild yeasts found on the grapes and in the cellar. The 2017 vintage showcases intricate layers of cassis, graphite, and savory spices, interwoven with sweet fruit accents that elevate its complex flavor profile. With a careful two-year maturation in new French oak followed by an additional four years in the bottle, this Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a structured yet elegant character, needing time to soften its initial edges. Upon opening, expect a cork with a moist base, indicating its age and adherence to traditional craftsmanship. A natural sediment might be present; decanting is recommended to fully appreciate its rich personality.
This Cabernet Sauvignon underwent fermentation exclusively with wild yeasts. The grapes were crushed prior to fermentation, leading to a deeper extraction, necessitating extensive aging to mellow its tannins. Its transformation was so remarkable that it was forgotten until rediscovered and celebrated for its quality.
